The configuration for the DMS Server computer and its peripherals with a minimum of:

• 2.0+ GHz Dual Xeon processors (Quad Xeon processors recommended)
• 4+ Gig RAM
• 200+ Gig hard drive (RAID Level 10 recommended, but not required)
• CD or DVD drive
• Separate servers may be used for applications and SQL Server
• Servers may be virtualized
• Clustered servers may be used and are supported through Microsoft Clustering Services
• Network attached laser printer (for reports)

1. Microsoft Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2003 R2

• Use latest service pack (32-bit or 64-bit version)
• .NET Framework 1.1 and 2.0, and 3.5 SP1
• IIS 6.0 or later (installed by default on Windows 2003 Server) – ASP pages must be enabled, (World Wide Publishing service) and security for the local intranet (or at least the application server) must be set to ‘low’ IE 6 with SP2 (or higher)
• Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC) Service
• Microsoft Message Queuing Service (MSMQ) (Client only)
• If using Java is necessary on the server, it cannot be a version of Java higher than version 5.
  If you do not have Java installed, that is ok – you do not need to install it.
• Set up a Windows account (local or domain) with Admin access to the server; this will be used to run our services, the FedEx services, and to install software
• Password for this account should not expire

2. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 (or 2005)

• 64-bit SQL Server is currently supported only if SQL Server is run on a separate server from the InfoShip applications.
• Mixed mode authentication is required; InfoShip does not currently support Windows authentication
• SQL Server must be configured to be case-insensitive
• Need sql login with sa rights and privileges
• SQL Server Standard Edition with 5 Client Access license is required for a typical InfoShip installation. A Client Access license for each InfoShip workstation is not required for a standard installation. However, if each InfoShip workstation needs to connect to a custom SQL Server database to provide customer requested functionality, then a Client Access license for each workstation is required.
• SQL Server Enterprise Edition is required if clustered servers are being implemented.
• DMS’ default setting is to install its database on the same drive as the SQL Server Master Database is located. Therefore, make certain that there is sufficient disk space on the drive where the Master database is installed if you install DMS’ database there. DMS’ database typically requires between 10 Gig and 20 Gig of disk space, depending upon transactional volume. Transactional data is stored for 90 days; if longer term data storage is desired or if extensive dynamic queries will be executed concurrently during the shipping process, CLS recommends replicating the database to a different server.
• SQL Server may be installed on a separate server and is not required to be installed on the InfoShip DMS Server.
• Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio must be installed on the Application server.

3. Internet access – to be established by the client
Internet Access is required to transmit files to some carriers and for software support.
(others may also be required for a specific project).

• FedEx
  https://FSMSvip.ts.dmz.fedex.com (199.81.x.x) (secure http)
• UPS
  https://pld-certify-x.ups.com/ha/cgi-bin/kdwstrpl (for SPF)
  https://pld-x.ups.com/ha/cgi-bin/kdwstrpl (secure http)
  https://www.pld-certify-x.ups.com/hapld/tos/kdwhapltos (for PLD 0200)
  https://www.pld-x.ups.com/hapld/tos/kdwhapltos (secure http)
• USPS
  ftp://ftp-in.usps.gov (using port 21 for Confirmation Services files)
  http://b2bgateway.usps.com:4080 (using AS2 for eVS files)
  https://b2bgateway.usps.com:1443 (secure http)
• USPS using Endicia.com
  http://www.envmgr.com/LabelService/EwsLabelService.asmx (test environment)
  https://labelserver.endicia.com/LabelService/EwsLabelService.asmx (production environment)
• DHL
  ftp://ediftp.dhl-usa.com
  www.connectship.com (licensing) https://progistics.connectship.com/license/LicenseServer.asp
• ConnectShip (patches)
  ftp://ftp.connectship.com
• CLS
  https://creativelogisticssupport.com
• CLS (software downloads/patches)
  ftp://ftp.creativelogistics.com (CLS recommends using FTP as the method of moving files to the InfoShip servers. Therefore, the server must be configured to allow FTP. If due to security reasons, FTP cannot be enabled, then another method of software distribution to the server needs to be identified and agreed to by CLS.)

4. Other configuration to be done by client

• High-speed remote access to the system by CLS for support that does not use a modem on either end. (e.g. VPN, Terminal Services)
• InfoShip communicates with FSMS via port 2000; no other software can utilize this port.

• InfoShip DMS Server and Client software.
• ConnectShip Progistics Foundation
• Carrier Components for UPS and other carriers as needed.
• FedEx FSMS software if shipping via FedEx is required.

Configured with a minimum of:

• 2.4+ GHz dual-core processor
